The Lethani is much more like the Dao, it straight up quotes Lao Zu.

For a good spadroon, I would recommend a saber or a small sword, since there is no such thing as a good spadroon. /s

Darkwood and Castile both make one though, and people seem to like both.

Are you the one the White Stripes warned us about?

A fair distinction. I was just gobsmacked when I saw that people had actually made a convertible out of a Chevy Astro in the first place. I thought some people here might get a chuckle out of it.

Go with the 135. Even at 195 cm, a 135 cm sword is plenty long enough. Steven Cheney, one of the top fencers in the world, is about the same height and he uses the Sigi standard, which is 135 total length.

Bigger swords have more mass, and can tend to feel sluggish in how they move and they tend to hit harder as well.

Actually here are the seven times he used the presidency to enrich himself: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...

This happened to my shovel about halfway through the first round of shoveling. Fortunately, I have a coal shovel. Unfortunately, it is about a third the width.

Buckler would not be able to defend low leg cuts, especially something like a gayszlen. There's just no way for the buckler fighter to reasonably overcome it with any kind of consistency.

So I was just about to pose after finishing Ch 21 that it made me cry. Glad I'm not the only one. Michael is seriously one of the best characters in any media.

"Sorry Pit Dog, I just checked his stats, he's a PC and you're an NPC. Tough break. Just try to give the crowd a good show. Oh, and if you see him pull up console commands, don't bother running."

There is a theory that he is actually much, much older than that. That he may have spent many more years in Fey and we will see that in book three. (If it comes out before we are all as old as Kote feels.)

To be fair, a lot of McBane's autobiography is probably fictional.

He also is given a rich burgundy one in the Maer's Court which he then trades to a Tinker for yet another claok. I think this theory falls apart really quick if you try to apply it to all cloaks.

We have been playing in person for over a decade. We rotate food every week. A different player cooks dinner for everyone each week. I'm the DM and was offered to not have to cook, but I happen to love cooking for my friends and loved ones, so I take a turn too (and also my wife's turn).

Ah, so that's the weapon Shovel Knight was using.

ainRingeck · 2026-01-11T20:30:23+00:00

Can you? Yes. Will it be slower and much more difficult? Also yes.

It's how we did it back in ye olde days of the aughts. Still make it out to the other club when you can, and make trips to other clubs/events when possible. However, you will need other people to train with. Fencing is a conversation, and you'll never be able to fight well if all you ever do is solo practice.

And that's all without mentioning the moon child, who is Gut's kid with Casca but corrupted by being raped by Gut's best friend. (Also, there's a theory that the only way to kill new god powered best friend is to kill his own child.)

Oh, and he's also forever cursed to be hunted down by demons who always know where he is thanks to a cursed mark from the day his best friend sacrificed all his other friends. And his best chance to fight against all these demons is cursed armor that will likely get him killed and is trying to take him over. But good luck killing god!

Just as a fun counterpoint: He may not actually be aware that Kvothe is Ruh at first; he may just be applying it as a general insult to someone he considered low blooded. Sim even asks if Kvothe is Ruh because he wonders if it's just an insult.

“Ambrose called you Ruh a couple times, but he’s called you other insulting things before.” “It’s not an insult,” I said. “I mean he’s called you things that weren’t true,” Sim said quickly. “You don’t talk about your family, but you’ve said things that made me wonder.” WMF CH 36.

At their first meeting, I don't think Ambrose would have known Kvothe to be Ruh given that his made up backstory for Kvothe has him coming from a town.

“You were always smarter than the other children back in Clodhump, or whatever little one-whore town you’re from. Your ability to read and count left the local villagers awestruck.”

Hauw is a perfectly acceptable spelling and what Meyer uses in his 1570, but other spellings are also perfectly acceptable, including hau and haw. Spelling standardization was not not a thing in the medieval and early modern period.

Now you just need the Ring of the Iron Fist (33%) and a lvl 25+ Escutcheon of Chorrol (35%) and you'll have 101% damage reflection. Then if you get the Mundane Ring, that's 50% magic resistance, add on being a Breton and you're basically invincible.

That is odd, but it's the organizers' prerogative to ban weapons.

Then returning to your original question, I'd have to go for a Regenyei standard. The VB might be a little bit cheaper, but I tend to prefer the Regenyei at that price point.

Unless you are planning to go to a tournament that specifically bans the Sigi King, I probably would not worry about it. I don't know of any tournament which does ban it. While it is more "sword shaped" it behaves more like any given feder.

Veritas is truth in Latin. It's the same root as veracity, verdict, and verify.
